Gustavo Poyet is expecting a response from Jozy Altidore on the United States
forward’s return to Hull City - where he spent a difficult year on loan -
after he was dropped from Sunderland’s first-team squad for last Sunday’s
Capital One Cup final.

Altidore, an £8-million signing from AZ Alkmaar last summer, has scored two
goals in 32 appearances for his club and Poyet, the Sunderland head coach,
is unmoved by the striker’s claim that Sunderland are “a difficult team to
play for.” Altidore endured a similarly unproductive spell during his season
at the KC Stadium.
